We lived in Albuquerque and paddled a lot of rivers, lakes and streams. Our biggest trip was to canoe down the Rio Grande, starting in Colorado and ending up in the Taos Box. It was about a 3 day trip. We also entered a canoe race down the Rio Grande starting in Sante Fe and finishing in...

I do not like sporks. They don’t work well as a fork or a spoon. I think sporks was the solution to a problem that never existed.

Ohio, Michigan, West Virginia, Kentucky, New Mexico, Colorado, Alaska.

It was my understanding that copyright protection for heirs was good for 50 years after the copyright holder’s death, or is the length different between photographs and videos?

I use a map and compass for my navigation tools (no batteries to go dead). As nice as the GPSs are, they are battery hogs. I would have to bring an obscene number of batteries for me to depend on GPS on a long canoe trip.

There are no Tractor Supply in Alaska.

6’ rules and hand warmers are obsolete?
